@carcamerarig, I'm sorry, that should have been M569.2 P# R111. The response should be something like this:

19/04/2021, 22:03:10 	m569.2 p0 r111
Register 0x6f value 0x800200c0

Preferably run it several times on the X driver while the machine is printing, in case it only happens when the driver is warm due to driving the motor.

@carcamerarig, thanks for the video. What am I supposed to be looking/listening for? I don't know how your machine is supposed to sound.

That one seems pretty normal for rapid back and forth on a bed slinger. I don't see the big clunk like on your other videos.

This one you can definitely hear the clunk on travel.

dc42

@carcamerarig, thanks! The M569.2 R111 results show that the drivers are running in stealthChop mode. Therefore, the issue could be due to stealthChop/spreadCycle changeover. What M569 V parameter are you using? Are you still getting banging if you set spreadCycle mode instead?

carcamerarig

@phaedrux that 1st one was the wrong video lol, my bad.... so many damn videos now Ive shared the wrong one, it was the same as the last video definitely a bang.

Yes its happening in all modes, at the moment its still as it was configured from Ian's

; Drive Mappings
M569 P0.0 S0 D3 V0 ; Drive 0: X Axis
M569 P0.1 S0 D3 V0 ; Drive 1: Y Axis
M569 P0.2 S0 D3 V0 ; Drive 2: Z Axis
M569 P0.3 S0 D3 V0 ; Drive 3: E Axis
M569 P0.4 S0 D3 V0 ; Drive 4: E1 used for Z1

dc42

OK, please try setting spreadCycle (D2 in the M569 command, once you have finished stall homing). If/when you are sure that banging has occurred, send the M569.2 P# R111 commands again, while it is still printing.

carcamerarig

@dc42

Home it in stealthchop, send M569 D2 in console then run the print making sure there's no homing in the gcode right?

@dc42

So in spreadcycle its banging like a hooker on smack..... I let it run for a bit but something going to break again so ive quit it! The supposed switchover banging on infill is even more prominent but its not supposed to switching in D2 right??
I'll upload the video of the infill bangs (mini bangs) but I didn't catch a travel move bang, too busy reporting M569.2 P# R111's...

Seems like we might, finally, have nailed this one. After testing all day today, @dc42 noticed the longest loop time in @carcamerarig's M122 reports was very long, often over 100ms. Looking through the M122 reports taken during printing in this thread, he noticed the SD card read times were very long, too, eg:

SD card longest read time 91.0ms, write time 5.2ms, max retries 0

By comparison, my loop time and SD card longest read, running the same code:

Slowest loop: 12.28ms; fastest: 0.10ms
...
SD card longest read time 7.9ms, write time 0.0ms, max retries 0

dc's current theory is that either the SD card is faulty, or the SD card interface is faulty. We're waiting for @carcamerarig to let us know if replacing the SD card helps.

To add to that, we also now have a firmware build that doesn't have these problems despite the excessively slow SD card read performance.

All testing I was doing was with 0.9° motors (48mm long NEMA 17 motors, one from E3D, one from Wantai) with similar specs to LDO motors, running at x32 micro stepping with interpolation. These were quiet in stealthchop, and noisier in spreadcycle, but not noticeably noisier than 1.8° motors.

I kept jerk settings high at 900mm/m (15mm/s) with Marlin jerk policy, acceleration at 2000mm/s^2, speeds up to 18,000mm/m (300mm/s). Motor current was 1000mA on X and Y, though these are 1.7A motors.

With these setting (which are probably close to the limit my poor old machine can cope with!) I didn’t have any banging problems, though as noted in previous posts, we think these are actually related to an SD card problem.

I also didn’t have problems in hybrid mode, so long as changeover speed was low, but could replicate the “micro banging” @carcamerarig experienced in gyroid fill if set around 35mm/s, which is to be expected as this is the speed gyroid fill was being printed at, so X and Y axes speed up and slow down through the changeover speed on each gyroid curve.

One caveat is that I was using endstops for homing, not sensorless homing. We did get that working on @carcamerarig’s machine, I think reliably, though with 1.8 motors. I’ll test sensorless homing my setup when I can.

I’ll update the documentation with best practices for all of that we’ve learnt in this process!
